When you feel good, you ride better. The Canari Gran Prix bike shorts are a great value on an excellent pair of shorts. Made with Stirata 4-way stretch lycra and a foam-padded chamois for improved comfort, this is a pair of shorts that can help you go the distance.

These were the first cycling shorts I purchased after being away from the sport for several years. I liked that the shorts were not just you basic black cycling shorts. I have been wearing them now for almost 5 months. They are well-made and were initially very comfortable. However as my miles increased they became less and less comfortable, to the extent that I now only wear them for rides less than 15 miles, they simply do not have enough padding for rides longer than that. I'm recommending them because they work well for the larger than average cyclist.

I have used Canari shorts for years and always enjoy wearing them. My only negatives are that the shorts do not come with a string for the waist. Also do not put these in a clothes dryer or emblem will wear off.

I am neither a fussy guy nor a bike short, spandex type. However, I needed to add some comfort to my rides after using a couple "liner" shorts under my cargo shorts I decided to try these Canari shorts. I first used them as "liner" shorts under my cargo shorts - they work perfectly. One day I stepped out of my home and onto my bike without my cover-ups, the cargo shorts. The padding works well. However, the padded portion of the shorts seem to "stick" to the seat and the rest of the short fabric seems to slip down or for lack of a better word "swim" at the hips. When trying to readjust the short the padding at the back snags or otherwise catches onto the nose of my seat.I bought the medium I am 5'8", 165 lbs., 34" waist I think maybe the sizing runs large. Like the padding thickness, do not like the swim effect of the fabric but that said I liked the price and probably would buy them again and use with or without the cargo shorts.
